NWA - incoming and just in time for Christmas 🎄 🥰😍
The brief : Yesterday Simon Brette officially launched his Chronomètre Artisans in Titanium. Truly an amazing piece and different from the Souscription model which had a different engraved dial (called Dragon Scale) done by master engraver Yasmina Anti. The Ti model has a different engraving technique which they call "Tiger Claw."
Backstory : almost 2 years ago during Watches & Wonders 2022 I was fortunate enough to have met up with Simon during an impromptu meeting / tea / coffee. At this point, he had just left MB&F and was designing his first prototypes but ONLY had a couple sketches of the project. Obviously this was before the crazy hype and following he has received since then 🙄 🤷
I was BLOWN away by the sketches but what really excited me was the process of how he would highlight the artisans involved in the project as well as incorporate personal details from his family/ history in horology. It truly touched me and happily / surprisingly he agreed to have dinner with our collecting group that attended W&W 2022 together.
Little did we know but during the dinner we discussed his plans and the process of acquiring a piece in the future. I guess it was meant to be as the entire group agreed on a project together which was truly an amazing moment shared between us all, one of many ❤️ 🥰
Fast forward 19 - 20 months and we were happy to have taken delivery of this INCREDIBLE work of art. Don't want to say too much more as some of the group would like to remain private for personal reasons but what I can say is everyone was blown away with their pieces.
This was an incredible journey from the start to finally receiving the piece as Simon kept us involved the entire way, almost daily / weekly. It has honestly been the most satisfying and enjoyable watch purchase / project I have ever been a part of so needless to say, this one has a ton of sentiment value for me and our group.
All things considered, I would truly say it has jumped into my top 5 of favorite all time pieces for so many reasons.
BRAVO to Simon Brette and all the artisans involved in this work of art. We truly appreciate all of you ❤️

Congratulations, Justin!
A truly stunning dial on this!!! Love the way it catches the light!
Looks wonderful! Congrats!
I've only met Simone Brette very recently. But, as you already know, I have a great affinity for his work.
I enjoyed him very much the half an hour I was with him...
Waiting for HIS taxi to come! And what can I say - you already know I'm a sucker for those "scalloped" steel gears that I like.
WOW! It won’t be difficult to enjoy
this magnificent beauty! Congratulations! Sounds like a very enriching and satisfying project. Very happy for you.
Wow what a masterpiece !! Thanks for sharing.
I love the dial and finishing and fonts. What a piece. Your strap is a perfect flourish as well. What a dial!
What a masterpiece of horological art, loved it at first sight! Congrats and enjoy!
Totally NOT surprised that you made that deal, grabbing the creator gently by the neck right from the beginning of his journey another plot of fine horology collecting! Cheers, Alex
You are most kind my friend :-)
